## Features

* **Project Analysis**: Differentiates between CLI tools, libraries, apps, and templates.
* **Enhanced Readiness**: Checks for installation guides, usage examples, license, and metadata.
* **Channel Orchestration**: Recommends the best channels (PH, HN, Reddit, X) based on fitness.
* **Skill Hand-offs**: Provides hooks and pointers to `show-hn-writer`, `producthunt-launch-kit`, and `reddit-post-engine`.
* **Honest Feedback**: Explicitly flags low-readiness repos and recommends documentation sprints.

## How It Works

1. Point the agent at a GitHub repo URL.
2. The agent analyzes the repo (README, license, install guide, metadata) and scores launch readiness.
3. You receive a channel recommendation, a timed launch checklist, and skill hand-offs to `show-hn-writer`, `producthunt-launch-kit`, and `reddit-post-engine`.

***

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
# Generate a launch strategy and checklist for a repo
python scripts/run.py --repo-url https://github.com/owner/repo
```

***

## Differentiation

Unlike single-channel generators, `oss-launch-kit` acts as the **Root Strategy Layer**:

1. It tells you **if and where** you should launch.
2. It provides a **timed checklist** for coordination.
3. It hands off to **specialized skills** for channel-specific drafting.
